Us for libel. we have received more assur.
ing letters from our friends in Zuni county

conclusive proof that our fearless course

outlaws to which this Tremaine belongs,
and who seem very proud OF him, will
probably try to intimidate us on the day of
trial, but we warn them now that the at

we shall appear before the Judgment seat

From The Deadhead Gazette Of Nov. IL, 1881
Among the many pleasant incidents Of
the congratulatory serenade rendered to
the Hon. Richard l.. Tremaine, delegate
elect, last evening by his friends and con-
st~ituents, was a very clever little speech Of
the Hon. Frederick C. Harrington, Of New
York city, who in response to repeated
cries of '~'Harrington!'' "Har~ington!" said
that his subject was not Harrington, but
Tremaine. He then proceeded to give a hui
morous account of nov he and our honored
townsman had become acquainted at q
chicken dispute in years gone by, where
they were both students at - college,
and that the friendship thus successfully CO
mented had never been broken for a mo-
ment. In conclusion he stated that Ari-
IONA had reason to be proud Of her next
representative in the national legislature,
where sterling worth and unusual ability
always found ready recognition.
When he sat down the cheering was i'm
mense, accompanied by shouts of eco onl'
and only subsidized when he plead his fatigue
from the long journey and asked to be ex-
cused for the night. If Mr.. Harrington
could be induced to take up his residence
here we do not hesitate to assert that his
popularity would speedily carry him to the
pinnacle Of political ambition.
Alas! there are Harringtons and Har.
ringtons, and the vile specimen Of that name
who edits The Blue Eagle Herald still lives
and breathes the pure air Of freedom. It is
reported that the cringeing sycophant SO
worked upon the kind feelings of Judge
Tremaine that he has discontinued his suit
for libel, and we suppose the purity OF
western journalism must continue to be
polluted by the foul language and tainted
breath of The Blue Eagle Sewer, yclept
Herald. Sic semper vita est.
BLUE EAGLE, A. T., Nov. 16, 188-.
MY DEAR ANNIE-Your letter Of the 9TH,
assuring me that you were all well, was
thankfully received this morning, and I
hasten to inform you that Kate's predica-
ment is not at all serious, and even has
some elements Of humor in it, since the
much dreaded libel suit has been with
drawn. I stopped at Deadhead first, as I
told you I should, and in the person Of
''that fellow Tremaine''I discovered my old
friend and college chum Dick Tremaine-
''Dixey," as we all called him-who has
lived here since 1877 and acquired both
riches and honors. OF course he was glad
to see me, and gave me a right royal vel
come. I laid the whole matter Of Kate's
insanity before him, and he at once stopped
proceedings against her, and insisted upon
coming up here with me to apologize in per-
son, though what he had done to apologize
for I couldn't see. Kate has managed to
keep it unknown that the Harrington of
Harrington & Levi is a woman, and from
the files of some of the other papers in tho
Office I see she has caught it right and left,
while her own abuse of Tremaine all but
got her lynched. She was overjoyed to
see me, but my introduction Of Tremaine
her dumb, and she could only break
down and cry. I fancy this affair has
worried her a good deal, as she is looking
very thin and pale.
Poor Tremaine is over at the hotel now
himself for being the cause Of her
trouble, as he puts it, while I am writing
this in the Office of the redoubtable Herald.
Kate has a Jew named Levi for her fore
man, job printer and business manager q,
and it is his name that appears in the firm.
He has a hard time Of it with her, from
what he tells me, and says the Office was
in danger Of being Quilted any night during
the campaign, and his neck stretched with
out the formality Of a trial. Kate, being a
woman, would have been safe, he adds.
Tremaine offers to buy out The Herald es-
good will and all, and I shall
stay here until it is done, and then bring
Kate home with me-, via San Francisco. l
hope this experience will cure her of the
idea that her mission is journalism, and I
blame myself very much for letting her try
her wings in this distant land.
Tremaine is inclined to be 'spooney" on
her, and says he regrets that he did not
take her attacks upon him in good part.
There is no reasoning with such men; they
are too much like your charming sex in in
consistency. i
Will write again from Los Angeles.
Drop me a line, saying how you all are, at
the Palace, Frisco. Kiss the children for
me. Kate sends love. Ahectionately,
FRED.
To Mrs. Fred. G. Harrington, New York
city.
BLUE EAGLE, A. T., Nov. 20, 188-.
MY DEAR SISTER, presume Fred has
written you about the sale of The
Herald to Mr.. Tremaine, who purchased it,
as I believe, for that miserable editor Of
The Gazette, although he insists that he
never, never intends to part with it.
Fred found me in wretched spirits, and
obstinately refused to let me remain here, |
to which I had to submit. This sudden
giving up of all my cherished hopes Of
founding a successful journal in the south
west, and one which should some day be a
power for good, is very hard for me; and
yet may be I was not equal to fighting my
way in this wild country. Both Fred and
Mr.. Tremaine, who seems to be quite q
gentleman and worthy Of a better
champion than The Gazette, assure me that
I did very well indeed under the circum-
stances, and the latter says if I will stay he
will engage to make me the most popular
person in The territory; but I tell him I
Am not to be bribed, and the use of that
ALWAYS silences him. Had he at |
